Me too. Jin’s new ‘do makes it hard to tell them apart when Jin’s hair is mussed, you have to pick up on her fangs or Shelly’s bulging biceps.

(How can Jin get her hair cut, though, anyway? The GGG are living and indestructable clay dolls, does their hair even grow?)

RE Jin’s mom: I’m uneasy about this. Mayahuel is responsible for an enormous amount of death and destruction (the Claendar Machine, the creation of the ‘gods’, golum technology that led to the Chimera, the time loop).; if, after 80,000+ years of confinement, she’s grown wise enough to consider the consequences of her actions, that’s one thing. If not, letting her out and near anything more dangerous than a cotton ball might just start the death and destruction all over again.

And speaking of the Machine, I’m uneasy about IT, too. Maybe it’s impotent in the Demon realm, maybe it’s not alive and sentient and won’t be angry about all this, maybe the demons lack the ability, knowledge, or interest to use it for their own ends, maybe there’ll never again be a door like Monica they could push it through and back into the Human realm; but that’s a lot of maybes, I wish Bud would have taken a few minutes on the other side to crush it down into a diamond while it was ineffefcctual and end its menace once and for all. Because as it is, it’s a possible danger…

It was as much what she said as the look – that sounds like something Shelly would say.As to hair – i suspect that the GG’s hair may be like Dru’s in Pibgorn – whatever length and style suits them/the situation.

He’s an absolute master at texture and ink wash. And the use of such 3-D effects, against which he places the ‘flat’ figures of his characters, is one of the most effective methods of putting vast amounts of background detail in place, while keeping the foreground simple and uncrowded, that I have ever seen.
